David Stockman Interview On Yahoo – The Fed Painted Itself Into A Corner, Confidence In The Casino Is Headed For A Fall – David Stockman’s Contra Corner 09-17-15

Salient to Investors:

David Stockman said:

The Fed is on a jihad against retirees and savers.

80 months of ZIRP has not helped the economy because we are at peak debt, with US business $12 trillion in debt, versus $10 trillion before the crisis.

The massive money printing has all gone to Wall Street: into stock buybacks, M&A, etc.

The weak US economy is due to a lack of investment over the past 15 years and uncompetitive US labor costs.

China’s debt has increased from $2 trillion to $28 trillion in the past 15 years and created a house of cards with enormous overcapacity and huge speculation that is beginning to deflate.

If the Fed raises rates unequivocally expect a long market correction: if it does not raise rates expect a short-term relief rally before a huge correction. However, if the Fed raises rates today, expect them to hedge by saying they are ‘one and done’.
